The space This is a suite at Balancé Surf & Yoga Retreat in Playa El Tunco; this is not a listing for a private house. Balancé is a boutique waterfront hotel in El Tunco. For several weeks of the year we also host surf & yoga retreats. Unlike at a typical beach house rental, here you'll be greeted by a dedicated team, cleaning staff, and amazing vibes. We have regularly scheduled yoga classes in our studio, a great quiver of surfboards available for rent, and 24/7 service to the airport for pickup and dropoff. Almond has a beautiful king bed, mini-fridge, high-speed fiber optic internet, a small desk and workstation, a closet / organizer, a secure safe, and a beautiful, large bathroom with open air shower. All rooms at Balancé come with hot water showers, lush bedding and linens, air conditioning, and come stocked with purified drinking water that we keep refilled throughout your stay. The suites at our surf and yoga retreat purposefully do not have televisions or cable TV. Come disconnect and retreat here! This Airbnb listing is up to date and has a full listing of the amenities specific to this room. Our property is located in El Tunco, inside the main gate and walking distance to all the great cafés, restaurants, bars and nightlife. The Balancé retreat offers the advantage of being walking distance to everything but far enough away so that the noise from bars and live music will never disturb your peaceful getaway. Our backyard faces the surf break at La Bocana. Unlike most of the Airbnb listings you'll find in the area, Balancé is truly walking distance to the waves - the surf break is right in front! At most of the rental houses you'll see in the area, you would need a car or hire a guide to travel to and from surfing each day; the waves are right in our backyard at Balancé. Guest access You'll have private access to your room, like at any hotel. The waterfront pool, deck, gardens and hammocks are shared common spaces for all hotel guests to enjoy, although this suite comes with a private hammock area also on the outside terrace. Your terrace is not shared with any other rooms or guests. On our property we have a gorgeous yoga studio with regular classes that you may participate in at the advertised price. We accept drop ins or you can reserve and pay for class in advance if you prefer. If you are looking for a more private space, we have a villa behind the yoga studio that comes with a private plunge pool, garden, and a full kitchen. The villa has two internal bedrooms and a third detached suite, and is ideal for larger groups or families. Other things to note RESERVATIONS AND PRICING: Official pricing and cancellation terms for Balancé are maintained on our website. Please visit Balancé Yoga Retreat / El Salvador Yoga online for full details and for the best way to contact us with questions. It is slightly more expensive to reserve our rooms on this platform, due to the extra administrative requirements that come with using it. However, we honor your preference to book on Airbnb if that is your preferred method and will provide you with the same level of great customer support as we do with all of our guests. LAUNDRY: As noted in the amenities section, we do have laundry service available and washers and dryers on site. These are not private washer/dryers for your room and laundry service is available for a fee like at any hotel. Laundry is $7 USD per bag and comes folded and delivered to your room. CLEANINGS At no extra cost, we provide cleaning service throughout your stay. Daily, we'll empty your wastebasket, check your drinking water for refills, and do a quick tidy up in your room. Every other day we'll do a more detailed cleaning and we'll change your sheets and linens on day 3. If you need a different arrangement, just speak with our reception desk once you are here. KEYLESS ENTRY DOOR LOCKS One thing that stands out about Balancé is that all of our rooms come with coded keyless entry door locks so you don't have to hassle with keys when you go out to surf or to go eat. We hate dealing with keys when we travel so we wanted to provide you with that nice touch! Your code and instructions on using the door will be provided at check-in. RESERVATION PLANNING: After you've booked, we require the name and email address of every adult guest that is staying on the property. We'll provide an invoice directly from Balancé (not from Airbnb) to ensure that you receive copies of all the important reservation planning notifications that our customers normally receive. We will NOT send you promotional emails, newsletters, or other marketing messages of any kind unless you request them or sign up for them separately. AIRPORT TRANSFERS: We offer 24/7 service to the airport. It's not possible to reserve that on Airbnb, but after you've reserved and paid for this room, we can assist you to reserve airport transfers on our website. We have a wonderful driver and like-new vehicles in excellent condition to ensure comfort on your short trip from the airport to Balancé. It's only 40 minutes from the airport to our door. YOGA CLASS: Our Yoga studio is one of the best yoga facilities you'll find anywhere. Our classes include a nice, clean yoga mat, full length towels, blocks and bolsters, and the perfect temperature for yoga awaits in our studio. For most of the year, our classes are led by one of the best yoga teachers in the world: Lindsay Gonzalez. She is our studio manager and manages classes with an awesome local group of women during any of the weeks when she is traveling abroad. BOARD RENTALS: We have one of the best surfboard quivers that you'll find in El Salvador. We have a selection of surfboards in all shapes and sizes, in excellent condition and with premium fins. If you are looking for a quality surfboard rental in El Salvador, you found us! It's not possible to provide links over airbnb until you've made a reservation first. At that point, we can send you a link to make a reservation for any of our boards. GUIDED SURF TRIPS: Are you a group of experienced surfers? Balancé is located right in front of one of El Salvador's best and most consistent waves: La Bocana. You can walk out the gate in our yard, check the surf, and paddle out. We're also just minutes away from all the best point breaks in the area. We've been doing surf trips in this area since 2006 and have a team of amazing guides that can drive you to surf the best point breaks on El Salvador's coast. Balancé is owned and operated by a team of dedicated, experienced surfers. SURF LESSONS: Are you a beginner and want to try surfing for the first time? We have a great team of surf instructors available and great soft top boards for surf lessons. Just ask and we can setup a lesson for you. We offer 60 minute, 90 minute, and two hour lessons. Our team will recommend the right time to ensure the best conditions (tide, wind, and swell size) for your lesson. TOURS, ACTIVITIES AND EXCURSIONS We have a great list of tours and activities available on our website, after you reserve the room, we can share links and information regarding how to reserve these trips.
